WARSAW, Poland - "Fahrenheit 9/11" opened Friday in Poland - a U.S. ally in Iraq - with some critics comparing director Michael Moore's style to totalitarian propaganda.
But politicians who opposed Poland's decision to send troops to Iraq urged the public to see the film. Moore's movie portrays President Bush as inept and the war in Iraq as an illegitimate campaign waged to further business interests.
A critic for Gazeta Wyborcza, Poland's largest daily newspaper, condemned the movie as a "foul pamphlet" too biased to be considered a documentary and said it reminded him of methods used by Nazi propaganda filmmaker Leni Riefenstahl.

Well, they should know, they experienced the Commie/fascist/socialist/evil first hand.
And unlike 'merican liberals they know totalitarianism.
The only difference between Goebbels Nazi propaganda and Moore's, is that Goebbels wasn't a fat slob.
Exactly. New Europe recognizes a steaming pile of leftie statist bullshite when they see it.
AND I wonder how many of the American media will pick up THIS review........I won't hold my breath.
Good for them! People who have lived under foul dictatorships recognize them when they see them - imagine being an older Pole who remembers life under the thumb of the Communists? I bet he sees the idealized Iraq from the film and remembers the Soviet propaganda films that described life in the communist "paradise."
In this case it's Lumpy Riefenstahl.

Moore is evil person, he go to hell, that film is stupid!
I could not have said it better myself.
One of the most tragic sagas of WWII is what happened to the Poles, both by the Nazis and Russians. In spite of it all, they never forgot how to think or lost their courage. I really want to go there someday.
They know their propaganda from documentaries over there, unlike we, most of us, unfortunately, over here. If the market for movies over there and just about everywhere wasn't controlled by American companies but by the locals, this piece of shiite would probably not even be shown! It'll probably bomb anyway. People on those countries don't like to be preached at, which is what most if not all of our "documentaries", Leftist or National Geographic, do. Documentary filmmaking is an art form unknown in these here parts, in my opinion.
